Our republic was forged in war, as the centuries-lit powder keg detonated into years of conflict and chaos over royal succession.
- Asherah Demnah, Kardunashi historian
The War of Many Banners was a civil war between the various noble houses of the Kardunashi Sea Empire following the death of Sea Lord Beldo-Jonis V. It ended with the victory of Balthezar Orrin and the creation of the Kardunashi Republic.
